Hi All,

Does anyone have any experience using the dimension mentioned on the 850? My current summer tires are 205/55-15 and I find them unnessecarily low and wide so I am willing to trade performance for increased comfort and better mileage.
I've talked to a couple of mechs and some advise against 195/65-15 and say it will cause rubbing (195/60 being standard) and some say it's OK. I'm confused. Any input is greatly appreciated.

Best regards
Johan
